Dividing Fractions

There are 3 Simple Steps to Divide Fractions:

Step 1. Turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside-down (this is now a reciprocal).
Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal Step 3. Simplify the fraction (if needed)

Example 1

1	÷	1
2		6

Step 1. Turn the second fraction upside-down (it becomes a reciprocal):

1	becomes	6
6		1

Step 2. Multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal:

1	×	6	=	1 × 6	=	6
2		1		2 × 1		2

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

6	=	3
